VOLUME 52. ISSUE 3 FUESDAY. JULY2. 1991 IGNP Weber State University Ogden, Utah I HE OST Women can succeed in male world of business By Lorin J. May Managing editor of The Signpost Women who want to succeed in business in the '90s must associate with people in high places and use programs available to them, said speakers at the Women in Business Conference held at WSU last Thursday. They also emphasized that successful women have shown that "the male way is not the only way." The conference was a forum for successful businesses to discuss women's business issues and to show women what resources are available to them, said Franciska Meacham, an organizer of the conference and a staff assistant at the Small Business Development Center at WSU. "Women sometimes think, 'I can't be as good because I am a woman,'" Meacham said. After staying home for 13 years to raise her children, Carol Nixon, Executive Director of the Utah Arts Council, said she was burdened by the constant pressure of family responsibilities, and realized that "my job could be my salvation." Nixon said that entering later into the workforce has not hindered her. "There is a time and season to do what you do," she said. "(But) you must include an idea of what makes you feel successful." When starting into the business world, women must both give themselves permission to work and to be successful, she said.

The Soviets are always doing something to try to intimidate the break-away republic, she said. But don't call them a break away republic or mention secession, because Lithuania is trying to re-establish its independence which was taken away just before World War II. Last week, the Soviets severed all telegraph and telephone communications between the republic and the outside world. They also planted some weapons in the communication center, she said. Juodiene is a professor of English at VMU in Kaunas, a city about an hour's drive from the Lithuanian capi-tol of Vilnius. VMU is the only private university in the Soviet Union. It is also the sister university of WSU. That kinship brought Juodiene to Ogden for a week-long, WSU-financed visit before continuing on to Santa Barbara, Calif., where she will study English for two months before returning to Kaunas. Asking Juodiene about her impression of Ogden can be likened to asking someone transported to Mars what they think of the scenery.
